M3 or black M4..thats a predicament.
Altho I love the M3, it would not do you as much good
if youre getting a tri-elmar. And since its mint, it
seems like you use the M4 more.
And if you late have regrets, it'll be a lot harder to
replace a black M4 than a clean M3.

                             Hi,

                             I am considering selling
one of my M body. I own a M7, a M2, a M3 and a 
                             black paint M4.

                             I do not feel the need to
have 4 M bodies, I never use more than three 
                             at 
                             the same time. And I
would like to raise some money for a Tri-Elmar 
                             and/or a 
                             changing my 90/2.8
(current version) for a 90 APO Asph + 90/2.8 thin 
                             version.

                             I want to keep the M7 (of
course :-)) and the M2. I am considering 
                             selling 
                             either my M3 or my M4
black paint. The M3 is mint and the M4 is one of 
                             these 
                             black paint bodies that
works perfectly but look nicely severly used, 
                             like 
                             the the one of J.
Marshall that was in the Che Guevara 
                            
booklet(http://members.lycos.co.uk/JemK/Pic-A-Week/marshall.htm)

                             I have the M3 mainly for
the high mag of the VF (nice with the 
                             Noctilux), 
                             but bought recently a
1.25 magnifier that I use either on the M2 or M7. 
                             So I 
                             do not feel like needing
the M3 anymore, but it is a nice piece...
                             I am not either a
collector so I do not feel like keeping the M4 Black 
                             paint 
                             forever, but it is a nice
piece...

                             Any advice? beside buying
a M5 and M6, so I have the M2-M3-M4-M5-M6-M7 
                             range 
                             ;-)?

                             TIA, Logan.
